Jill Henderson

In both oversized wall-drawings and miniature "sculpy" sculptures, Scottish-born, New York-based artist Jill Henderson's funky bog creatures ooze through the seams of ordinary architectural space. Her installation in the street level vitrine windows of the Contemporary Art Gallery, Highwideshallow, both describes the physical dimensions of the windows and repopulates the neighborhood with her colorful homunculi. 

A series of small sculpture-like artworks are installed on a floor. A number of fried-egg shaped objects, red building-like figures, and small green round objects are placed widely on the floor.
